Not sure what to say?

With deepest sympathy to the Curry family. May your memories keep him close to your heart.

I've always thought that you would have retired long before your passing but, as old Big Ben in London, you kept on going.

I still carry the memories of having worked for you when I was in the Sixth, first as a reserve officer then as a regular from 1980 to 1982. The one thing you never did was micro manage any of us.

I thank you for the time that I did get to know you and for sharing your military and police knowledge with me. You have been and will continue to be an inspiration to all of us who know you on the department

A big void has been placed in...
